Closing out a Field Notes and looking at the past 7 months. That’s how long I’ve been tracking my tasks, important dates, meeting notes, and important phone calls notes in this notebook. This system I’ve created over the past 2 years helps me in a lot of ways.

I’ve been a little absent on socials because I’m trying to better my business and that’s a lot of stuff that doesn’t translate well into images. I’d like to start a video maybe once a month or quarterly to bring everyone along on the “what’s happening” behind the scenes.

Onto a new notebook. A new set of goals, without forgetting the past 7 months.

I’ve been working on this for a bit and finally got some prototypes in! I’m really liking how they turned out but I think I’m a revision or 2 out from being able to sell these. Keep posted!

PCB (circuit board) ruler that is perfect for a Field Notes sized notebook!

So I’ve been working on quite a bit in the past few weeks! Practical 3D prints and some other tool that merges my love for electronics and technology into my products. I’m only sharing my 3D printed lens cap holder, but I’ll be sharing another research and development project as soon as I get my test batch from production!

Iteration is a key point in any process and product. I’m trying to provide more in terms of functionality and aesthetics. One key point is giving value to you while making it worth the cost. I’m hoping some more affordable 3D printed accessories for real problems can be a good solution.

There’s a few more changes I want to make with this design before I’m ready to sell it, but be on the lookout!

So I got a 3D printer! It’ll mostly be behind the scenes of the business and I have some plans to help in some manufacturing capacity. I might even explore some 3D printed EDC items, who knows? Keep posted to see some cool stuff, though.

My 3 year old is really starting to get the hang of the Ti EDS from ! Great way to get them familiar with a liner lock before he gets a knife.

Heck yeah! Nothing like a 5 star review!! Reviews and sharing my posts, site and products mean a lot to a small business. I’m glad something I made with my own 2 hands is used.

Visiting an old pattern of mine. Checkbook cover with a cash flap! It’s been a long time since I’ve done this and I’ve gotten so much better over the years. Asian experimenting with my photography a little bit 📸

Does anyone even carry a checkbook anymore? Cash? Let me know what you think!

I don’t normally customize orders, but I had leather leftover from the last drop. A customer ordered a Cove leather notebook cover and asked if I could put the stamp on the inside. This turned out great! I put a single Lucky inside the cover.

Patina check on the fixed blade sheath for the Woodsman! Really loving this knife and it’s the perfect size for horizontal carry on the belt! I’ve probably carried it everyday since I made this.

Happy Easter! Enjoy the time with your family. All of you that EDC, it’s especially one of your days. The time that you get to get those multitools, knives and pry bars out to be the heroes of the day 🫡
